The committee in charge of arrangements for Old Home Week spent a busy two hours together Monday evening. As a result of their efforts, a contemplated program for the entire week is at hand.

Saturday, August 2nd. will be devoted entirely to the reception and registration of guests.

On Sunday, special services will be held in each of the churches with Old Boys occupying the pulpits. Afternoon and evening band concerts at Lynnwood Park will also feature the day.

Monday morning at ten o'clock, the big celebration will commence in earnest, with the official civic welcome by Mayor Baillie and other citizens of the town at Lynnwood Park.

In the afternoon there will be a Grand Parade to the fair grounds. Two hundred dollars in prizes are offered for the best floats, and special prizes for the oldest automobile, the car coming the farthest distance, the car carrying the biggest load, for a yoke of oxen and several other specialties. The remainder of the Civic Holiday program consists of saddle and horse events, a polo match, baseball game, a barbecue and in the evening a musical festival and grand fireworks display.

Tuesday afternoon is devoted exclusively to baseball, lacrosse and other amateur sports, and in the evening the first of three presentations will be made of the musical comedy "Springtime," by a cast of local talent under the direction of the Women's Musical Club and the John B. Rogers Producing Company.

Horse races are the order on Wednesday and again on Thursday.

The Joyes Amusements Company who are providing the midway, will put on a special program Friday and Saturday.

Centenary at St. John's

An event of unique importance and attractiveness to many of the "Old Boys and Girls" will be the special service Friday afternoon at St. John's Anglican Church, Woodhouse, to mark a century in the life of the church. The Bishop of the Diocese will deliver the sermon. A garden party will be held on the grounds in the evening.

A new parish hall is in coarse of erection in commemoration of the event.

Features of the Week

In addition to the program outlined, there are several features worthy of note.

A Norfolk Museum of Art is in course of preparation. It will house 100 original paintings of historical scenes of Norfolk Count by W. E. Cantelon, and many relics and antiques gathered throughout the county.

A huge tent will be erected at the fair grounds and a dance floor will be built. The Regent Orchestra will supply music for lovers of the Terpsichorean art each day from two o'clock in the afternoon until midnight.

Three or four high class bands, in addition to a "Rube" band which will play almost continuously during the week.

The old home town will be decorated in gay attire to welcome home her prodigal sons and daughters.

It is quite probable that a special train will be run from Toronto and Hamilton.
